Details
Description:
I modified `/usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-lts.conf` so that it blacklists `nvidia` instead of `nouveau` (I'm using nouveau as my default driver and swap it with the nvidia proprietary one only if I need to). Then, when updating with pacman, the file was overwritten by an updated. (I'll have to document how to do this on the freedesktop wiki) The file should be treated in the same way as `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist` in `pacman-mirrorlist`, i.e. a .pacnew file should be created instead if the file was modified. Additional info: * package version: 384.59-2 |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Use the override directory to... override things! This is not the kind of file that needs to be a backup file.

Why not just use /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-lts.conf this will
override /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-lts.conf and will not be
affected by package upgrades?
